  G  Em
 Insane
C                             Am
 I'm watching all my colors change

         Em              F
 I wait for your call I feel it in my bra
         C
 You're burning down my walls
       D
 Not scared to lose it all
         Em
 When I kiss your lips

 Too late

 To even try to walk away

 My panties in a knot

 Ya I'm into what you got

 I can't fight it it's too hot
          Em
 When it gets too much
      F
 I'm melting in your touch

                 E         
(It's just like Johnny and June)
                   D
 Maybe I fell too soon
                   C
 But have you met you?
                  B
 What I wouldn't do
                 E
 It's just like Johnny and June
                   
 They wrote their name on the moon
                  D
 They might have fallen too soon
               
 But yet they still found the room
                 C
 It's just like Johnny and June
                   
 They wrote their name on the moon
                  B
 They might have fallen too soon
               
 But yet they still found the room


 Am           G
 You give me fire
C         D          Em
 Give me fire coming out
              D

2. Walking 


Standard Tuning
Capo on the 3rd fret


Chords:

C:    x32010
Em:   x22000
F:    133211 or x33211
G:    320033 or 320003
Am:   x02210


  C
 Can't stay with you, but I'll miss you
  Em
 Soles on fire, I can't see through
  F
 All the smokey, smoking higher
  G
 And I don't know what to do

  C
 See the shadow, it stays beside me
 Em
 In my dreams, it never likes me
 F
 Oh, it's a long road that I've created
 G
 I've got it under control

 
              C
 So why am I walking?
             Em
 And this I don't know
                        F
 Why I keep walking in circles
                       G
 When I've got nowhere to go


  C
 Sand pulls quicker, sinks me deeper
 Em
 I like the feeling, I let it linger
   F                                         
 Where's my education? What was I thinking? 
  G
 Been lying to myself all along

         C
 And I knew I was wrong
                      Em
 I could tell in your eyes the love is gone
                     F
 And I know I can't fix what I have done
            G
 So I keep walking until I'm done

 
               C
 And why am I walking?
             Em
 And this I don't know
                        F
 Why I keep walking in circles
                       G
 When I've got nowhere to go


          Am            C
 But I'll do this alone
             G             F
 And every tear I know is mine
             Am                 C
 And I will feel it in my bones
         G                  F
 I'll be okay, just let me hide
             G
 Patterns change, just like the tide


               C
 And why am I walking?
             Em
 And this I don't know
                        F
 Why I keep walking in circles
                             G
 When I've got nowhere, got nowhere, to go
               C
 And why am I talking? 
             Em
 When I have nothing to say
               F
 My head is a mess 
                      G
 And I'm not finding my way

       
        C
 But I can't stay with you, but I'll miss you
  Em
 Soles on fire, I can't see through
  F
 All the smokey, smoking higher
  G
 My feet won't bring me to you 

 End on C

 Horror stories that I read

 But every word became a lie
C                     Am

 It won't matter

 So why am I talking you in

 A thief, turning my whole world around

  Intro:   D


D
  I took in the most that I could
                           Bm
  I never imagined that I would
                          G
  Be feeling so misunderstood
                      D
  I'm just following lines
 
  You race in my mind like a car
                                     Bm
  You've beaten my heart so damn farther
                                G
  And now I've been pacing the wall

                         Em
  Cause you're under my hood
          A
  Never thought I could

  Love you no never
          Em
  Never thought that I would
        G        A
  Ever try to be anything better

 
      G                       D
  My heart's beating better alone
      Em
  And if it is broke
   Bm           A
  Why let you know
        G                          D
  This heart's not your skipping stone
      Em
  If I'm sinking water
       Bm        A
  Then why even bother
        G                A
  Just leave it alone, Mmmm
                                   D
  This heart's not your skipping stone

 

  So maybe I should settle down
                           Bm
  And find a new man  let him 
                    G
  Throw my world around
                     D
  All his blueberry lies

  I know there isn't a rule
                         Bm
  Was left in the dust never
                      G
  Was taught in school

                            Em
  Mmmm now  I'm a lovesick fool
         A
  Never knew that you

  Could just hold me hostage
                 Em
  I'm losing my cool
               G
  Through the pain somehow
         A
  Don't want you to stop it

 
      G                      D
  My heart's beating better alone
      Em
  And if it is broke
   Bm           A
  Why let you know
        G                          D
  This heart's not your skipping stone
      Em
  If I'm sinking water
       Bm        A
  Then why even bother
        G                A
  Just leave it alone, Mmmm
                                   Bm
  This heart's not your skipping stone

 
           G
  All the time
                  D
  I never let you in
         A
  Was a lie
                       Bm
  I wasn't letting you win
               G
  And all the days
              D
  You let me cry
         A
  Was a lie
 

       G                       D

   Bm           A
  Why let you know
        G                          D
  This heart's not your skipping stone
      Em
  If I'm sinking water
       Bm        A
  Then why even bother
        G                D
  Just leave it alone 
      Em
  And if it is broke
   Bm           A
  Why let you know
        G                          D
  This heart's not your skipping stone
      Em
  If I'm sinking water
       Bm        A
  Then why even bother
        G             A
  Just leave me alone
                                   D
  This heart's not your skipping stone
